Acne, a very common problem both in men and women is caused mainly due to the changes our skin undergoes including the hairs and oil glands of the skin. Acne develops mainly due to the hormones, like in case of men during puberty the testosterone which is a male hormone,keeps on changing its level in the body and hence causing acne as its outcome. Though there is no fixed age when acne can appear or disappear yet early twenties is the most common age when a large number of men suffer from acne. If the problem is not very acute usually it can be either easily curable or it disappears completely naturally. While on the other hand, there are certain cases wherein a person's acne may be incurable even at later stages.
Dealing with acne is not an easy task, though people have started accepting this condition knowing that it affects almost everybody at some stage of life. What we see on our skin is generally the most common type of acne appearing due to the blockage of oil gland in the skin due to presence of dead cells. This blockage in turn provides excellent medium to the bacteria to multiply. And finally when the upper most layer of the skin gets infected we can see the acne. Acne occurring commonly on the face may also effect other body parts such as chest and shoulders.
Being so common now-a-days acne outbreak does not bother any one, as it does not lead to any major medical problem. But in certain cases if the skin is too oily or for that matter if the dead cells on the skin remains unresolved, then acne can damage the skin permanently and leave an ugly scar. One of the negative effects of acne is that it affects your self confidence level drastically, mainly during the adolescent period when a person deals with several other physical changes.
